Power on password via the fingerprint reader

ThinkPad Edge 520. Win7 64 bit

How can I get my market and password HD to accept my fingerprint as security access?

ThinkPad Edge does not have this feature.  Only the classic ThinkPads (X, T, W) can do.

  • I forgot my Windows 7 password WITHOUT having access to the admin via the fingerprint reader account...

    I forgot my password of Windows 7. I have access to my laptop as an administrator with a fingerprint reader. I would like to cancel or change my password of Win7, but it seems I can't without knowing. Under: Control Panel, user account, change password, need allowing you to type the password before you can change or cancel it. Help! Is there any solution to this? I fear the day jumps to scan fingerprints and I'm stuck on my laptop. Thank you!

    So feel free.  Use your current access to create two new admin accounts & create password reset for them drives.

    If you do not already have, then create a password reset disk for your user account to the daily as well. Alternatively, if it is the one that you forgot the password, create a new user and account & use the admin account to save your data.

    I also write my passwords & keep waste paper in a safe place.

    I suggest two admins like any profile can get damaged.  If a user account profile is corrupt, you can get with an admin account to save the data.  If an administrator account is corrupted so you need a spare admin account to enter to save the system.

  • Re: Tecra Z40, Win 8.1 - malfunction of the fingerprint reader

    DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM:

    My Tecra Z40 arrived with Win 8.1.
    From the beginning I couldn't use the fingerprint utility.
    When you access the utility won't happen for a while and then the error: "Could not connect to the fingerprint reader" has finally popped up.

    I could also not use the actual construction of fingerprints 8.1 Win (error: this device has biometric devices is not suitable). (PS mind that this built in function is now integrated into the subway and no device biometric parameters are not now present in the control panel to 8.1 win!)

    The problem has persisted despite the last fingerprint utility (which comes with the drivers) have been installed to win 8.1. 64-bit directly from the website of TOSHIBA and despite that a biometric device was still present in the Task Manager ("this device is working properly").

    SOLUTION:

    After literally weeks of research (including getting help from the shop and service Toshiba), I could finally solve the problem.

    I uninstalled the driver and the reader of fingerprints from the Device Manager (then only fingerprint reader drivers really disappear).
    Then I cleaned the registry (I used CC cleaner software) (or install new wasn't a reason any).

    Finally, I installed a Fingerprint Utility equivalent and the driver for Tecra Z50 (fp - sw - 20140605164020.zip) (which I expect to be using the exact same sensor)... and since then everything works fine.

    I can now access the utility of fingerprinting and fingerprint log on in Windows.

    SUGGESTION OF CORRECTIVE MEASURES:

    It seems the driver on Toshiba support website (I think for me it was the Poles) for my exact machine (made by TOSHIBA - detector.exe) is incorrect.
    To make matters worse the driver does not communicate useful information on his miss - fit in the Task Manager! If I had to recalculate, in money, as long as I have and a whole lot of support persons had spent on it, there really meaning to improve this list of drivers!

    (PS: one of the files in the same directory online regpatch has a virus (VIRUS A Yes) it has been recognized by Antivir!) -Toshiba, you can communicate with someone responsible for the Polish support site!)

    OUTSTANDING ISSUES:

    No fingerprints, login is possible in Mozilla or Internet Explorer despite the appropriate plugins have been installed as well as the utility of fingerprints, where the web password option has been activated. (no suggestion seems to appear to reach the service fingerprints for the sites that require passwords, maybe that your service gets blocked by popup blocking browser protection?).

    I'm really looking forward to this feature.
    Make sure that the plugins work correctly with the latest browsers.

    Hey thanks for this interesting thread and a detailed description.

  • Portege M700: Cannot use the fingerprint reader after update for Firefox 3

    Hey

    I have a Toshiba Portege M700 Tablet and with the truesuite software on a fingerprint reader and password Bank plugin.

    It's all working fine and dandy with firefox 2.
    Then last night I went and updated for firefox 3 and now I can't log in to Web sites with the fingerprint reader.

    No error messages, nothing. I can say that the truesuite or Bank password software is not detecting firefox 3. I've updated to the latest version that I could find, 2.0.2.0.

    I found this thread by telling me the process of update of firefox it breaks and I should completely uninstall and reinstall firefox, which I did.
    That didn't fix it.

    Then I completely uninstalled and reinstalled truesuite. That did not help either.
    Its still broken.

    Anyone know a workaround or a way to fix this, or should I wait and see if there is an updated version of the password database? (I find it unlikely because this isn't really a standard program)

    Hello

    I think that the new Firefox version is not fully tested and possibly it s not completely compatible with the 3rd party applications.
    I remember the same problems with older versions of firefox. Finally, it has been resolved.

    But why you don t use internet explore? As far as I know the fingerprint works without a problem

    In any case if you want to continue to use the browser firefox 3 so I think that the only solution is to wait for an update.

  • Portege R830: don't seem to be able to get the fingerprint reader to work

    HI - need help.

    I have a Toshiba R830 I got "downgrade" to Windows 7 32 bit version pre-installed 64-bit. Long story - but it's the software compatibility.

    Despite the download and the installation of what I think is all the relvant 32 drivers - I don't seem to be able to get the fingerprint reader to work.

    I downloaded and installed the software fp-sw-201103311304 Tosh - chilled out and tried to install it.

    It's actually hard to know if it is installed! I get a window telling me it will extract the file in a directory C:\temp and tells me at the same time that 'tinstallwb.exe' will start once the extraction is complete.

    It seems to extract - but I do not see that the installation is happening.

    Subsequently it is has that nothing listed in the title of the programs - and nothing "launches."

    In Device Manager - I can't see anything that is listed as "fingerprint reader" under security features - the list is TPM 1.2. Not actually sure that is nothing to do with the fingerprint reader - well I've enabled and then disabled via the BIOS.

    Am I missing something?
    Could the reader [which I have not used since the new - even if it's only 8 weeks] have stopped working?

    Would be very grateful for pointers.

    Try to start the installation manually. On the desktop create a folder unpack and after doing the beginning downloaded exe. Extract the files to the folder unpack and disable command run after extraction.

    When files are checked almost open and Toshiba archive extracted file extractor. You will find setup.exe.
    Try please to start it manually.

  • HP ENVY 17 G0U21AV - is there a way to disable the fingerprint reader?

    I use a HP ENVY 17 G0U21AV 8.1 Windows.

    This model came with a fingerprint reader in the lower left corner of the computer. Although this seems to be a nice feature, it is not one that I plan on using (I use LastPass to my passwords). I keep my Palm on the scanner that will bring to the top of the screen for HP SimplePass accidentally part traffic. This can come from the most inopportune moments, and it can become quite annoying always trying consciously avoid the fingerprint reader.

    Is it possible to disable the fingerprint reader?

    Thank you.

    @DSWJoshua,

    Thanks for posting. You can disable the fingerprint reader. For completeness, I'll give you steps to disable the driver itself and the biometric support, so you should not worry about this later.

    To disable the driver, go to control panel, then Device Manager. Expand biometric devices. Right-click on the sensor of validity and uninstall it.

    To disable biometric support, go to the Control Panel, biometric devices then. Uncheck allow users to log on to Windows using their fingerprints, and then save it.

  • Configuration required to use the fingerprint reader

    I have a dv6tQE delivered later this week and I'm looking into how to configure the fingerprint reader.  I'm interested the FR for projecting my fingerprint with the plethora of passwords that I now keep in a Word document hyperlink.  Too much memorize.  I'm not interested in the security feature that requires a logon or a fingerprint whenever I start my computer.  I usually push on the button and then perform several tasks to something else and come back to the computer, wait until it is ready to roll without the need for an additional activity on my part.

    The User Guide PDF downloaded States in part:

    "In order to use the fingerprint reader, you must configure a user account with a password on the computer. This account allows you to log on to your computer with a simple touch of the designated finger. Alternatively, you can use the fingerprint reader to fill in the password on Web sites and other programs that require a login. See using the fingerprint software for instructions. After you have created your identity from fingerprints, you can configure single sign-on... »

    It will be necessary for me to set up a user account for my login or can I skip that part and use the NOF for passwords only?  In addition, there is a link to the FR software guide?

  • How to configure and use the fingerprint reader?

    I have a Pavilion dv7 - 6157cl laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  A second person may also use the player?  If this is not the case, the password feature can be used by someone else?  I need a complete and detailed instruction for the fingerprint reader.  What player software that is mentioned in the PDF manual?  No software is given.  I don't know where to start.

    Thank you

    Here's a thread on this, the first part is on the installation, which you can skip, you should already have installed everything, so move on to the configuration section.

  • Windows Sign-on does not accept the fingerprint reader

    I have a Lenovo ThinkPad W510 running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.  It comes with the Lenovo Fingerprint Reader software, and I activated it and registered fingerprints.  When I lock the computer, I am able to use the instead of the password fingerprint reader to log on.  Also, when I put the computer into standby mode, I am also able to open a session with the fingerprint reader.  However, when I first turn on the computer, the windows logon screen does not allow me to use the fingerprint reader, but only accepts a password.  No idea what could be wrong?

    The problem is resolved. It was a misunderstanding on my part. By clicking on the "Change user" button, I could see the scanner as a connection option. Once I used once the fingerprint reader, which then became the default user and now presents itself whenever I connect. If I want to return to the use of the password, I can do so using the button 'change user '.

  • Pavilion dv7 6051ea: how to get the fingerprint reader works on Windows 10

    Just upgraded to Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10 Pro. The fingerprintreader has stopped working. I find the possibility to set up, but the installation is grayed out as long as no driver available. Can't find one on any forum support? Anyone else having this problem and sorted it please?

    On August 11. I've been running Windows 10 updates on a daily basis since the upgrade and now after a reboot of the fingerprint reader has started working? and remembered my impression as well. I guess that Microsoft dropped in a fix for this (which works for me) then maybe something to try?

    We just purchased a portable Satellite Pro S500-10 which has the fingerprint reader. Does anyone know how we can disable this facility of the laptop, we do not remove program only disable the installation.

    You can disable it in Device Manager. If it's not ideal, I guess you could send the laptop to an ASP to have the fingerprint reader physically disconnected.

  • Portege R200: How to reset the fingerprint reader?

    Hi, I got a damaged probably fixable Portege R200 (no, it's not stolen, legitimate sales). The machine does not start in its current state. If I fixed and find the fingerprint reader enabled, is it possible to erase it and start again (I'm not interested in the contents of the existing drive, I'm happy to format and reinstall a new OS image)

    Referring to the Toshiba are OK if that's what it takes, but I don't want to buy and spend more money if it is completely non-recoverable because of the safety lock fixing. Any advice or info much appreciated

    Thank you

    Hello

    To the extent where I knew the Omnipass Fingerprint Reader utility is responsible for this security.
    This software is to be found in the control panel.
    You can add and remove profiles (user) and set the settings to encrypt/decrypt the contents of the hard drive.

    In my opinion he has no influence on the process of starting...
